Volunteering
Rochester
A volunteer group, founded in 2009, that looks after The Vines gardens in the heart of Rochester alongside Medway Council and Kent Wildlife Trust. Volunteers help with planting and run community events such as the summer Cherry Picnic and bat and bug days.
This group is run independently by its organisers, not by InKent. Times, venues and prices can change, so get in touch with the group before your first visit. If the group involves children, ask the organiser about safeguarding.
Key details
Games & Hobbies
A welcoming chess club for complete beginners and seasoned players alike, running a club championship, quickplay events and Kent League matches. Boards and clocks are provided, and you can try a taster session before joining.
Walking & Rambling
The local Ramblers group runs a busy programme of countryside walks across Kent, Surrey and Sussex, from leisurely strolls to longer hilly days. There is no booking; just turn up at the start point shortly before the walk sets off.
Sport & Fitness
A small, community-based rowing club on Dover seafront that races coastal boats at regattas around Kent and the south coast. Members of all ages and abilities row there, including masters crews.
